I have been a fan of magicians all my life. To the point that I am a practicing magician. After reading a previous reviewer input I felt it my duty to share my opinion. I think the show is great. As a practicing magician I felt the audience reactions were real. I have been in a live taping of fellow magician Criss Angel's show and the same reaction they showed was the same reaction that occurred on-site live with no plants. And I feel that the same goes for Troy. Troy's methods are so complex that it fools actually magicians. The purpose of magic is to shock and awe and I feel Troy does that. Others may be over critical of the show and to them I say produce a magic show and let's critic it. But I feel Troy's show fulfills its purpose of entertainment and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD/BluRay.
